Viral video gets attention of Antigo Police

The Antigo Police Department is looking for the person who posted a YouTube video that they believe may be connected to a cold-case disappearance from 2009.

On their Facebook page, the department points out the video could be connected to the case of Kayla Berg, who disappeared in August of 2009. Kayla’s mother, Hope Strenger, told WAOW Newsline 9 that the girl in the video could be her daughter. “It sounded like her, it looked like her, it gave me chills,” she said.

In the 58 second video, a man describes an encounter with his new girlfriend, then shows a woman who appears to be chained up in a locked room, crying and making muffled screams. It is the only video posted by the account.

Strenger said the girl in the video is wearing clothing similar to what Kayla was wearing when she was last seen.

Antigo Police say they are investigating the origin of the video and are asking for anyone with information about who posted it to contact the department.
